Help What are these "1.."-files, and why won't they go away?

Hi y'all!

I've got a rather curious predicament. I was recently deleting a folder of pictures I had imported from somewhere, when I got a rather strange message - that there were files that were "not found" when Windows 7 tried to delete them (I was deleting while using the phone in USB mode). I found this strange, so I tried to delete them manually from the phone. Most of them were deleted, but I was left with about twenty files all named "1.."

When I attempt to delete them in USB mode, I again get the message that "File was not found. The file is no longer in the directory", while if I try to delete them from the phone directly it just acts as if it deleted them and starts scanning the sd-card, but the files are all still there.

Anyone got any ideas? I kinda want them gone; they aren't doing anything bad as far as I know but it's kinda annoying to have "indestructible" junk (they apparently all take 0 kb space, so that isn't the issue).

I'm running 2.2.3, if that's any help, but I got them before I updated (and I don't remember which version I was using earlier). I haven't rooted or done anything "fancy" to it, I'm always scared I'd break my precious, precious Galaxy!
